Party Girls

It's finally time to party to celebrate Brianna's 14th birthday! She wanted to do something fun and she planned the whole party with a "glow in the dark" theme. She had a friend come over and help her decorate and made the house look awesome. They even made a big poster with a 14 on it for her friends to sign and she can hang it in her room.

We started off with some fondue. I had never done this before so it was an adventure. We had 2 pots with cheese and lots of good things to dip into it. The girls played a game that if anyone dropped their food into the cheese they had to sing a song. Let's just say it was a musical night and there was a lot of laughing going on. After the cheese dipping, we broke out the chocolate (YUMMY!). During dinner the girls had to try and hang onto their glowing bracelets by avoiding saying the word "like". If anyone caught you saying the word, they got your bracelet.

Once the girls were full, we piled into the car and headed down to the park to play glow-in-the-dark volleyball. They had their glowing necklaces and bracelets plus I had painted a volleyball with glowing paint, but unfortunately the lights at the park came on once they sensed someone was there. They played volleyball for awhile then played some hide and seek. We got lucky because it was probably the last perfect night of the season. We were outside without even jackets (notice Brianna in shorts). Just part of the crazy weather in Vegas.

We headed back to the house for cake (love the pumpkin spice cake from Nothin Bundt Cakes) and fun party games Brianna planned. They had a war in the backyard with silly string and played our traditional candy bar game. Unfortunately we ran out of time. Brianna had several other games planned plus they were going to play the wii game of "Just Dance". I guess we'll hang onto those ideas for next time.

I think they had a lot of fun hanging out and being together. This is a party weekend because Brianna's good friend, Maddie, has a birthday 6 days after Bri. Her party is tomorrow. Party on!








Just in case you are wondering.....yes I still have silly string all over my backyard. Brianna promised that she would clean it up when we were planning. She got a lot of it, but I think she is hoping the cold winds we are planning on getting tomorrow will take care of the rest of it. We shall see.



I don't know how many wishes she made, but it took almost 14 breaths to blow out these candles. Cord's favorite part of the party is singing "Happy Birthday" and he likes to help blow out the candles.

November birthday girls ROCK!
